Folks, I am planning to get a second pair of HD 6XX to keep as a spare, in case my main HD 6XX pair dies on me or gets sent for repairs.. How long do you reckon the second pair can be kept in storage before stuff like the ear pads becomes disintegrated? I used to have a spare pair of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10s (Amazon Black Friday Sale during 2012) which i kept for 4 years and when I took it out to use, nothing seems to have disintegrated or melted off when my first pair of TF10 dies on me.
However I do have a old pair of earphones where the spongy ear pads disintegrated after 6 months of storage.

ByfrostIf you keep them in the box with some sort of gel packs should keep them fresh if you keep in a good environment.
